Dingolfing is a city in Lower Bavaria, is located on the Isar and on Isar cycle path and has a good 18,000 inhabitants. The city layout is remarkable: The 1 Core city (lower town) lies on a level to the right of the Isar, it is dominated by one 2 Upper town, which is located on an elevation that drops steeply in three directions. Both parts of the city are at their only historical connection, the Steinweg, through an inner-city gate, the 3 Travel sheet separated. In the meantime, however, the greater part of the built-up urban area lies to the left of the Isar. This is also where the large industrial area is located 1 the largest production site of the car manufacturer BMW worldwide with over 20,000 employees.
background
A double foundation can be seen in the division between upper and lower town: while the Wittelsbach dukes gained a foothold in the upper town, the Bishop of Regensburg tried to assert himself in the lower town before the Wittelsbachers took over the bishop in the course of their state expansion in the 13th century crowded the city and united the entire city in 1265 by concluding a contract in their hands.
The first documentary mention, however, took place much earlier: The place was found in 833 Tinguluinga with a church and a royal court entered the history books for the first time.
The first settlements to the left of the Isar towards the end of the 13th century were primarily for livestock farming and included the so-called Schwaigen from Goben in the west to Sossau in the east of today's urban area. These settlements as well as the suburbs of Fischerei and Gries have largely given way to residential and industrial development.
In the late Gothic period (1350-1600), trade flourished in Dingolfing, and the population active in textile and leather processing gave the town a certain wealth. The stately church of St. John, whose foundation stone was laid in 1467, testifies to this wealth.
The age of growth ended in the 17th century with the great wars of the European powers. During the Three Years' War the city was occupied and plundered by the Swedes, while the War of the Austrian Succession in 1743 was a disaster for the city. In the course of fighting between enemy Austrian troops on the one hand and the allied French on the other, large parts of the city went up in flames. The city was only able to recover very slowly from this blow and sank into largely insignificance.
A turning point occurred in the middle of the 19th century when new roads were built and Dingolfing was connected to the railway network via the Landshut-Plattling line. Little by little, commercial and - still formative today - industrial companies settled in Dingolfing. In 1905, a repair shop for agricultural machinery became the glassworks, agricultural machinery and, after the Second World War, also motor vehicles such as scooters or the well-known Goggomobil manufactured. In 1967, the factory premises became the property of BMW and gradually expanded to become the company's largest and most important production site.
Dingolfing was largely spared from the Second World War, only the Wehrmacht blew up the Isar bridge when they withdrew. This circumstance and the flourishing industry contributed to the rapid development of Dingolfing in the post-war period into one of the richest communities in Germany. The massive influx of skilled workers made it possible to create new residential areas and improve the social infrastructure. This process continues to this day.

By train
The 1 Dingolfing train station (Bahnhofstrasse 76, 84130 Dingolfing) is on the Landshut-Plattling railway line. Dingolfing can be reached without changing trains from Munich, Landshut, Plattling and Passau thanks to the daily DonauIsar Express, which was set up a few years ago.
In the street
Dingolfing has three junctions (Dingolfing-West, Dingolfing-Mitte, Dingolfing-Ost) on the A 92, which was opened in 1988 and runs through the Isar valley. The former B 11, which runs parallel to the autobahn and which also affects Dingolfing, lost its traffic significance, but is always an important regional traffic axis. From the Dingolfing-Ost junction, which was opened in 2002 together with the Dingolfing eastern bypass, there is an efficient transport connection to the southern Vilstal, which runs parallel to the Isar valley.
By bicycle
Landau is located on the 290 km long Isar cycle path approx. 50 km above the mouth of the Isar near Deggendorf.
mobility
Since mid-1997, Dingolfing has had a city bus network called dingo, which consists of four lines, each named after the color of the buses. The central meeting point of the lines is the Spitalplatz in the city center every hour on the hour; the two inner city lines even meet there every half an hour.
There are also a few parking spaces (some of which are subject to a fee) for visitors to the city.
Tourist Attractions
Churches
.JPG/220px-Stadtpfarrkirche_St._Johannes_(Dingolfing).JPG)
The 4 City parish church of St. Johannes is a late Gothic hall church and was built from 1467 to 1502. It is a stately, unplastered brick building with an 83 meter high tower. Although the foremen are unknown, the church can still be assigned to the Landshut building school around Hans von Burghausen and Hans Stethaimer. In 1868 the baroque onion dome of the tower was replaced by a pointed helmet. The interior decoration and the stained glass are mostly from the phase of regotization of the church during the late 19th century. A larger than life late medieval crucifix that is hanging in the crossing vault ("Colossal Lord God of Dingolfing", beginning of the 16th century) and late medieval sculptures of the Church patrons John the Evangelist and John the Baptist. An original glass painting from the late Middle Ages has also been preserved in the north near the choir. The associated rectory is a stately baroque building from 1729 with a hipped roof. In the area of the parish church there is also the late medieval Deifaltigkeit-, Erasmi- or Schusterkapelle, to which a baroque Karner was added in the 17th century and a Lourdes grotto in the 19th century.
Since church synods can be shown to have taken place in Dingolfing as early as the times of the older Bavarian tribal duchy in the 8th century, the existence of a parish church can be assumed with certainty for this time. Excavations in the choir area in 1974 have archaeologically proven this predecessor church. It is also confirmed by soil findings that around the middle of the 13th century a Romanesque building was built on the site of today's church, which with a length of 32 meters was almost the size of today's church.
The 5 Pilgrimage Church Flagellation of Christ in the south of the city (on the right of the Isar) is a small baroque pilgrimage church, which the Dingolfing master builder Matthias Weigenthaler created in 1753. In the immediate vicinity there is a branch of the Franciscans with an associated monastery church in neo-Gothic style, which was built from 1853 to 1867.
In the district of Brunn (south of Dingolfing) is the little Gothic one 6 Filial church of St. Gileswhich is essentially dated to the 14th century.
From a building history point of view, this is also the 7 Parish Church of St. Joseph very interesting. The exposed brick building is the last major work of the important Munich architect Robert Vorhoelzer, who, as a representative of the local postal building school, can be counted among the most important architects of classical modernism; the building was erected posthumously from 1954 to 1956, as the establishment of a second parish was deemed necessary in Dingolfing due to the large influx of people after the end of the Second World War. (The border between the two parishes is still represented by the Längenmühlbach, which runs to the left of the Isar.) The church has its counterpart in the parish church of Maria Königin des Friedens in Munich-Giesing. Vorhoelzer developed the motifs of this building for St. Josef. Among the items of equipment, a Madonna figure from 1628 from the Obermünster collegiate church in Regensburg, which went under in 1945, is worth mentioning.
Also to the left of the Isar (in the Höll district) is the 8 Filial church St. Antonwhich was built before 1432 as the church of the associated infirmary and leprosy house and is the oldest still existing church building in Dingolfing. The church was expanded in 1895 when the nave and tower were rebuilt. The late Gothic choir with a reticulated vault was retained as the only structural element in this expansion.
The 9 Evangelical Church of the Redeemer by Gustav Gsaenger, which was opened in 1960, is a remarkable building with exposed quarry stone masonry made of Bayerwald granite. The church is provided with a large, light-glazed rose window made of concrete filigree in the west, stained windows in the east and a glass painting in the choir window and a campanile-like tower with distinctive accents.
City fortifications
The 10 High bridge is a high brick bridge built on five bays, which was completed in 1612. The Bavarian Duke and later Elector Maximilian I had funded the building through a tax deduction from the city. The structure bridges the Asenbach and represents an important approach to the upper town from the Isarhangleite.
Another way to the upper town leads from the lower town via the so-called. 11 Travel sheet, an open gate on Steinweg, up. He will too Rich school gate called because the town's middle school was housed on it since the second half of the 15th century. It has been privately owned since 1814.
The townscape of Dingolfing has been enhanced since the late 19th century when the town gates were demolished (with the exception of the 12 Wollertores at the north-eastern end of Marienplatz), the extensive demolition of the city walls (except for remnants on the west and east side of the upper town) and inner-city building demolitions changed, so that the city is now characterized by a largely random appearance. Numerous inner-city construction measures over the past decades did the rest. The construction of a road tunnel into the Upper City, which can be considered a prestige small-town project, led to a clear and irreversible disruption of the historical topography in the northeast area of the Upper City / Steinweg. The preservation of three historic craftsmen's houses in the Lederergasse was the result of protracted, controversial and sometimes polemical debates after the demolition seemed to have already been decided.
Other structures
A well-known attraction is the 13 Herzogsburg, a former ducal-Bavarian administrative building from the time of the rich dukes of the Landshut sub-duchy. It is considered to be one of the most important secular buildings of the late Gothic in Lower Bavaria. It was renovated in the 2000s and houses a museum with objects on prehistory and early history, the history of the city from the 16th to the 20th centuries, the history of handicrafts from the 16th to the 20th centuries, as well as furniture, clothing, tools and implements on rural work and general contemporary history. This also includes a special collection on images and symbols of popular piety. The wedding room for civil weddings is now also located on the ground floor. The top floor houses a large event hall with a gallery, concerts and exhibitions take place here. The historicizing facade painting, which was applied to the previously visible brick masonry in the course of the renovation, is a free reproduction without a historical template and is not without controversy.
The Stinker tower is a semicircular brick tower of the city fortifications with a conical roof made of hollow bricks (probably from the 13th century) and served as part of the medieval city fortifications and also as a civic detention center. From the middle of the 19th century until 1997 it was privately owned, then it became municipal property.
The Stork tower is a plastered brick tower of the city fortifications (probably from the 15th century), with a stork's nest until 1815. In 1862 it was restored and modified, and in 1905 it was fitted with a tent roof. It is owned by the Free State of Bavaria.
Places
The central square of the city of Dingolfing with numerous shops is probably the one 14 Marienplatz (earlier Wollerzeile) in the lower town. Due to its great width, Marienplatz also offers visitors to the city of Dingolfing parking space.
The is parallel to Marienplatz, one row of houses down 15 Hospital place. Next to town hall and the bus station dingo-Lines there are also various shops and parking lots.
Not far from Marienplatz and Spitalplatz, also in the lower town, is the 16 Parish square. It only serves as a green entrance area to the parish church of St. Johannes.
In the upper town there is finally the street 17 Upper citywhich clearly has a space-like character due to its width. Various offices are located here, including the district office of the Dingolfing-Landau district, and there is sufficient parking space for government officials.
To the left of the Isar is the 18 Dr.-Martin-Luther-Platz as a forecourt of the Evangelical Church of the Redeemer. The Dingolfing Middle School and the Dingolfing Municipal Music School are also located here. Accordingly, enough parking spaces have also been created here.
A little further out of town is the one 19 St. Josef Squarewhich, in addition to its proximity to the St. Josef parish church, is also characterized by the St. Josef elementary school, the associated gymnasium and a parking deck including an underground car park.
Museums
The 20 Dingolfing Museum (Obere Stadt 19, 84130 Dingolfing) in the so-called. Herzogsburg opened in 2008. There are objects on prehistory and early history, on the history of the city from the 16th to the 20th century, on the history of handicrafts from the 16th to the 20th century, on furniture, clothing, tools and implements for rural work and on general contemporary history. This also includes a special collection on images and symbols of popular piety.

trips
Teisbach market
The former market town of Teisbach was incorporated into the town of Dingolfing as part of the local government reform of 1972. The town with 1,100 inhabitants can be reached, for example, with the red one dingo, one of the four Dingolfing city bus routes. The Teisbach market is said to have been founded at the end of the 8th century.
Around 1180, Count Heinrich von Frontenhausen built a castle in Teisbach. In 1204 Count Konrad, the last of his line, bequeathed it (together with other inheritance) to the cathedral chapter and the bishop of Regensburg. After the destruction of the old castle by Duke Otto III. of Bavaria in 1251 the bishop rebuilt the castle, but could no longer choose the old location east of the Teisbach, as this now became the border between Teisbach and Dingolfing. Towards the end of the 14th century, the castle was handed over to the Bavarian dukes for financial reasons. Based on this, the Teisbach Regional Court was established, and it was not until 1512 that Teisbach was granted historical market freedom. In the 16th century the castle was almost completely rebuilt and changed in a neo-Gothic style in the 19th century. Today as 25 Teisbach Castle The well-known rectangular complex with a dome tower, dovetail battlements and circular wall was the official seat of the keeper of the Teisbach court until 1803. The castle was privately owned until the beginning of 2013, when it was acquired by the city of Dingolfing.
The 26 Market gate Teisbachs was built in place of an earlier gate in 1718 by the Dingolfing city mason Georg Weigenthaler. It separates the market square from the so-called Upper Market. It still has to be passed through Teisbach today.
The 27 Parish Church of St. Vitus in Teisbach was built in 1849 in neo-Romanesque style and consecrated in 1850. Inside there are painted wooden figures from the 18th century.
That is also interesting Teisbach Carnivalwhich was already a tradition at the end of the 19th century. Every year on Shrove Sunday there is a carnival parade with magnificently decorated floats. Due to the importance of Teisbach as a regional fool's stronghold, the Dingolfing sculptor created one in 2004 Fool's well created for Teisbach.
About 20 kilometers south-east of Dingolfing, in the municipality of Reisbach, is the well-known one 4 Bayern-Park Reisbach. According to its own information, the amusement park offers around 80 attractions on 40 hectares. The annual number of visitors is around 300,000. The park is open from about mid-April to mid-October; entry for people over 140 cm tall is € 18.50 in the 2015 season.
Vilstal
It runs about 10 kilometers south of Dingolfing (and the Isar valley) 28 Vilstal. The visitor can explore the Frontenhausen and Reisbach markets, the Vilstalsee (reservoir) and the beautiful natural and cultural landscape along the Vilstalradweg.
